    摘要: An ultrasonic inspection device includes: a longitudinal ultrasonic sensor configured to emit and receive a longitudinal ultrasonic wave; and an ultrasonic transducer unit made of metal and having the shape of a polyhedron. The ultrasonic transducer unit includes: an output surface configured to be disposed facing an object to be inspected; an input surface on which the longitudinal ultrasonic sensor is disposed; and a conversion surface configured to, when the longitudinal ultrasonic wave input through the input surface is reflected by the conversion surface, convert the longitudinal ultrasonic wave into a transverse ultrasonic wave such that the transverse ultrasonic wave propagates toward the output surface, the conversion surface being tilted at a predetermined angle with respect to an in-plane direction of the output surface. Thermal conductivity of the ultrasonic transducer unit is lower than thermal conductivity of the object to be inspected.

    摘要: The die casting machine includes: a sleeve with tubular shape, the sleeve communicating with inner space of a die casting mold; a plunger disposed in the sleeve, the plunger moving along a central axis of the sleeve; a sensor for measuring pressure of the inner space of the die casting mold; and a controller programmed to perform an airtight inspection of the die casting mold, during outside a molding period of a die casting product by the die casting machine; in the airtight inspection, wherein the controller is programmed to: pump gas in the sleeve to the inner space, or suck gas in the inner space into the sleeve, by moving the plunger in a clamping state, wherein the clamping state is a state of the die casting mold being clamped; obtain the pressure of the inner space from the sensor; determine an abnormality in airtightness of the die casting mold using measurement result of the pressure of the inner space.
